Influenced by Heidegger's 1947 'Letter on Humanism', structuralist and post-structuralist critics have both argued that existentialism is synonymous with a naïve 'humanist' idea of the subject. Such identification has led to the movement's dismissal as a credible philosophy; this book aims to challenge such a view. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough a lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of perversity in Sartre and Nietzsche, Mitchell argues that understanding the human as a 'perversion' of something other than itself allows us to have a philosophy of the human \u003ci\u003ewithout\u003c\/i\u003e the humanist subject. In short, through perversion, we can talk about the human as not merely \u003ci\u003ehaving\u003c\/i\u003e a relation to the world, but of \u003ci\u003ebeing\u003c\/i\u003e that relation. With an explicit defence of Sartre against the charge of humanism, accompanied by a novel and distinctive reinterpretation of Nietzsche, Mitchell recovers an existentialism that is at once both radical and philosophically relevant. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275464073367,"sku":"9783030431105","price":5876.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030431105.webp?v=1769282991","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sartre-nietzsche-and-non-humanist-existentialism-9783030431105","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
